Based on this topic what is 1F?
The easiest type to perform is the flat position, which is also sometimes called
the down hand position. It involves welding on the top side of the joint. In this
position, the molten metal is drawn downward into the joint. The result is a faster and
easier weld.
In 1G and 1F, the number 1 refers to the flat position, while the letter G stands for a
groove weld and letter F stands for a fillet weld.
In order to make satisfactory bead welds on a plate surface, the flare motion, tip
angle, and position of the welding flame above the molten puddle should be carefully
maintained.
The welding torch should be adjusted to give the proper type of flame for the particular
metal being welded.
Narrow bead welds are made by raising and lowering the welding flare with a
slight circular motion while progressing forward.
The tip should form an angle of approximately 45 degrees with the plate
surface. The flame will be pointed in the welding direction.

What’s New
What is It
You will end up risking burn through at the top of your joint
and having no penetration. You will need to work hard to master your technique if you
want an even and uniform beading on your joint.
Visually, this joint will have a base plate that is lying flat on the ground and the
plate being fused sticking straight up in the air, forming a T. Your weld will be at
about a 45-degree angle, because it will be nestled into that corner.
When welding in the 2G or 2F position it is necessary to control the weld
puddle and travel speed to produce a strong weld. The horizontal position is used
widely in agricultural sectors to make repairs.
The steps necessary to perform welds in the 2G or 2F position are: • Secure the
plate in a position for running beads in a straight line from left to right. Use adjustable
locking piers or C-clamps to secure the metal firmly. • When performing this type of
weld, the electrode and the plate sides should form a 90º angle. Lean the electrode
slightly in the direction of the weld area. • Adjust the amperage, travel speed, and arc
length to prevent the weld puddle from running or sagging. • Metal that is over 1/8- inch-
thick should be beveled prior to welding in the horizontal position. If welding thicker
metal, or metal that has been beveled, it is necessary to make more than one weld pass
to enhance the strength of the weld. • A root, filler, and cap pass will be necessary.

Learning Activities Specific Instruction
A small puddle should be formed on the surface when making a bead weld with a
welding rod. The welding rod is inserted into the puddle and the base plate and
rod are melted together. The torch should be moved slightly from side to side to
obtain good fusion. The size of the bead can be controlled by varying the speed
of welding and the amount of metal deposited from the welding rod.
Several types of joints are used to make butt welds in the flat position.
Tack welds should be used to keep the plates aligned. The lighter sheets should
be spaced to allow for weld metal contraction and thus prevent warpage.
The following table should be used for selecting the number of passes in butt
welding steel plates:
Plate thickness, in. Number of passes 1/8 to 1/4 1 1/4 to 5/8 2 5/8 to 7/8
3 7/8 to 1-1/8 4
The position of the welding rod and torch tip in making a flat position butt joint
is shown in figure 11-13.
The motion of the flame should be controlled so as to melt the sidewalls of the
plates and enough of the welding rod to produce a puddle of the desired size.
By oscillating the torch tip, a molten puddle of a given size can be carried along
the joint. This will ensure both complete penetration and sufficient filler metal
to provide some reinforcement at the weld.
Care should be taken not to overheat the molten puddle. This will result in
burning the metal, porosity, and low strength in the completed weld.

This position is used in the flat welding position. It’s a fillet symbol.
You will see this used when you need to work with filler that has been rotated so
it is level with the ground.
This is also the easiest of all welding positions. This position is also called the
flat fillet position.
In a fillet weld, this joint will have a base plate that’s at an angle and a joint at a
similar angle, so that the joint itself is facing straight upwards, making your
weld area completely flat in between the plates being fused together.

Weld carbon steel plates in horizontal position (2F)
Horizontal Welding (2F)
This is another fillet weld position, but it is used in horizontal welding.
If you are using this position then you will need to use the top side of a
horizontal surface for welding.
The surface will be lying against another vertical surface. When you weld from
this position, your torch’s angle will need to be 45 degrees.
When your filler weld is rotated in such a way that your filler material is
horizontal to the ground, then you will need to use this position.
It’s harder to use because your molten weld pool is going to try to move
downwards and hit the ground. It will be difficult to prevent your joint from
being uneven and having the filler metal pool at the bottom of your joint.
On top of that, your heat will end up moving upward to the top of the joint. With
the metal flowing downward and the heat rising upward, it can be very easy to
mess up this weld.
You will end up risking burn through at the top of your joint and having no
penetration. You will need to work hard to master your technique if you want an
even and uniform beading on your joint.
Visually, this joint will have a base plate that is lying flat on the ground and the
plate being fused sticking straight up in the air, forming a T. Your weld will be at
about a 45-degree angle, because it will be nestled into that corner.
When welding in the 2G or 2F position it is necessary to control the weld puddle
and travel speed to produce a strong weld. The horizontal position is used widely
in agricultural sectors to make repairs.
The steps necessary to perform welds in the 2G or 2F position are: • Secure the
plate in a position for running beads in a straight line from left to right. Use
adjustable locking piers or C-clamps to secure the metal firmly. • When
performing this type of weld, the electrode and the plate sides should form a 90º
angle. Lean the electrode slightly in the direction of the weld area. • Adjust the
amperage, travel speed, and arc length to prevent the weld puddle from running
or sagging. • Metal that is over 1/8-inch-thick should be beveled prior to welding
in the horizontal position. If welding thicker metal, or metal that has been
beveled, it is necessary to make more than one weld pass to enhance the
strength of the weld. • A root, filler, and cap pass will be necessary.

This is a vertical fillet welding position. You will use this position to weld any
time your weld position has the filler material vertical with the ground.
This position allows you to weld uphill, using your position to counteract the
effects of gravity on your weld. It’s pretty hard compared to 1F and 2F positions.
In this position, you have one base metal plate that is against a wall, and
another that is moving out of it at a perpendicular angle, but instead of laying
down it is straight up and down like a door hinge or a wall sconce.
You will be filling metal in at a 45-degree angle in the corner that joint forms,
but it will be up and down rather than flat.
There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical position.
These two techniques are commonly referred to as “vertical

up” and “vertical down.” These two techniques can be used to perform welds in
the 3G and 3F positions. The following is a set of instructions for performing
“vertical up” and “vertical down” welds. For most welders, light metal is easier
to weld than heavy metal because it requires less penetration. Be certain that
the metal plate is secured in a vertical position. The use of adjustable locking
pliers or C-clamps is recommended to aid in securing the metal in position.
Position the electrode at an angle of 60º to the plate and in the path of the weld.
The electrode should be perpendicular to the sides of the plate. For “vertical
down” welding, begin at the top of the plate with a short arc. If the electrode
sticks, stop and increase the amperage. If the electrode burns through the metal,
lower the amperage. If the electrode continues to burn through the metal,
increase the speed of the electrode movement downward.
When welding “vertical up”, position the electrode 85º to the plate in the path
of the weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up. Use the same
procedures if the electrode sticks or burns through the metal.
As you become better at welding in the 3G and 3F positions, begin work on
thicker metals. Experiment and increase the amperage
accordingly. When welding thick plate, use one or more side-to-side electrode
movements.
As with fillet welds, “vertical up” and “vertical down” welds will need more than
one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a filler and cap pass.
